Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

A heartbreaking scene is playing out on the screen:
[Zhao Linger's eyes dimmed and her body was shaking. When Li Xiaoyao reacted, he found that she was covered in blood and there was a large pool of blood on the ground.

It turned out that after killing the water monster, Zhao Linger was also seriously injured. She only managed to hold on in order not to leave Li Xiaoyao alone.

Zhao Linger lay in Li Xiaoyao's arms and said weakly: "Brother Xiaoyao, I will not die. I want to stay with Brother Xiaoyao. Brother Xiaoyao has been without parents since he was a child. He often pretends to be crazy and stupid, but he is actually more careful than anyone else. Brother Xiaoyao's life is very difficult. All his best friends have left. Linger doesn't want him to suffer like this anymore. Linger once promised to give him happiness."

Hearing these words, Liu Shishi and Xu Weiwei burst into tears, like a raging river that could not be stopped, their hearts filled with pity.

With the tragic melody of "Never Lose, Never Forget", the innocent and lovely Zhao Linger passed away, dying forever in the arms of her beloved brother Xiaoyao.

Zhao Linger, princess of Nanzhao Kingdom, lost her mother at a young age. Everything changed after she met Li Xiaoyao. She married Li Xiaoyao, and then faced bad news one after another. First, her grandmother passed away, and then her brother Xiaoyao even forgot about her.

Along the way, she saw that her beloved brother Xiaoyao liked another woman. She was pregnant and showed strange phenomena. People mistook her for a monster. She also began to doubt herself. It was not until she met her childhood playmate Anu that she realized that this was the sign of the descendants of Nuwa.

However, as a princess, she had no choice but to abandon her own people. Like her mother, she could not escape the fate. In the end, she was seriously injured and died while trying to destroy the Moon-Worshiping Water Beast.

Li Xiaoyao, a bohemian teenager, met Zhao Linger under the arrangement of the Moon Worshiping Cult. It seemed that it was fate that destined Li Xiaoyao to have an emotional entanglement with Zhao Linger.

After he fell in love with Zhao Linger, his memories of the past were erased by the people of the Moon Worship Cult. On the way to send Zhao Linger to the Nanzhao Kingdom, he met Lin Yueru. When he decided to stay with Lin Yueru, he inadvertently recovered his memory and learned that he and Linger had been married a long time ago.

In the Demon Locking Tower, he lost Lin Yueru, and later lost Ling'er. Brother Xiaoyao eventually became a thing of the past, having experienced many vicissitudes of life.

Why?

Why is fate so cruel?

Why can’t beautiful love always last?

At this time, Liu Shishi, Xu Weiwei, and other audiences were suddenly awakened and realized that this seemed to be a doomed "tragedy". Not only Lin Yueru, Li Xiaoyao, and Zhao Linger, but also Tang Yu Anu, Liu Jinyuan Caiyi, and Jiang Mingnuyuan, none of them were spared and ended in tragedy, leaving only Li Xiaoyao and the Sword Saint's last words "Do you understand?"

This year's New Year, "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" made a ten-year promise -

[Li Xiaoyao: I, Li Xiaoyao, want to be the greatest hero in the world. I want to help the weak and fight the strong. I want to be remembered in history!
Lin Yueru: I, Lin Yueru, will make Lin Family Castle the largest gang. I will be the female gang leader, and then I will compete with this jerk for the top spot!

Zhao Linger: I, Zhao Linger, will make all the people of Nanzhao Kingdom happy forever!

Liu Jinyuan: I, Liu Jinyuan, am willing to sacrifice my life and shed my blood to help the current emperor to support the Tang Dynasty!
Tang Yu: I, Tang Yu, am not afraid of any difficulties. I will be as loyal and courageous as my adoptive father and defend my country!

Anu: I, Anu, want to be happy every day, happy all my life, happy every day and eat every day!

We say goodbye today, let us meet again in ten years, see you there! 】

However, at the New Year of that year, everyone welcomed an imperfect ending, even one that was sad.

The world of emotions is often more poignant because of its imperfections.

However, this shortcoming has caused trouble for the viewers in front of the TV.

At this moment, their feelings were extremely complicated.

A man in his thirties slowly stood up from the sofa, his eyes filled with an indescribable complex emotion, "Ten years of life and death, I can't forget you even if I don't think about you..." His sigh echoed in the room, as if it was a helpless sigh for the shortcomings of the play.

The wife who was wiping her tears raised her head, tears still lingering in her eyes. She looked at the man and asked softly, "Husband, where are you going?"

The man seemed a little depressed. He looked at his wife and replied, "I'll go downstairs and take a walk to relax."

The wife did not hesitate at all. She stood up and took the man's hand. Her movements were gentle but firm, as if to tell the man that she would be by his side no matter where or when. She said in a gentle and warm voice, "I'll be with you."

The man felt the warmth in his hand, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Let's go."

They held hands and walked in the neighborhood at night.

The street lamps cast a soft light, stretching their shadows out.

Then they sat down on a bench.

"My love for you has always been very quiet, in exchange for your occasional concern. This is clearly a movie for three people, but I still cannot have a name..."

At this time, Shen Lang's song "Always Quiet" came from the living room of the neighbor on the first floor behind me. It is also the episode song of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1".

The man was immediately filled with emotion, life is like a TV series, full of ups and downs, laughter and tears, and it is these imperfections that make us cherish those beautiful moments even more. He turned his head and looked at his wife with love in his eyes.

His wife also looked at him and smiled, as if telling him that no matter how many shortcomings there were in life, they would face them together and go through them together.

They didn't expect that a TV series could bring them such touching feelings, bringing the couple closer and deepening their feelings on this night.

When the broadcast of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" was over, the expected storm came.

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire network is attacking Shen Lang.

People love and hate Shen Lang deeply. If he were just an ordinary screenwriter or director, people might just complain about him a few times. But it's completely different when it comes to him. He is a big celebrity, so people naturally have higher expectations of him.

"Brother Lang! What can I say about you! Not only did you write songs that deceive us into tears, but you also wrote dramas that deceived us into tears!" someone shouted angrily on the Internet.

"Without further ado, I'm reporting Brother Lang for not doing his job!" Another person seemed to be a little resentful.

"Why? The Sword Master is so powerful, but not only did he not fight Baiyue, he also stood by and watched with the Water Monster. What were you thinking, Brother Lang?" Many people were confused and dissatisfied with the Sword Master's behavior in the play.

"In this drama, the first female lead, the second female lead, the third female lead, the second male lead, the third male lead, the fourth male lead, etc. were all killed. I am really convinced!" The audience found it difficult to accept the tragic endings of many characters in the drama. "This script is well written, don't write it next time!" This seemingly contradictory sentence fully expresses the audience's complicated feelings.

"Ahhh, I want to hit someone!" Some people's emotions were even on the verge of collapse.

This storm of condemnation swept across the Internet like a torrential rain.

However, behind this anger, it also reflects the weight of this drama in people's hearts. It is precisely because they are too invested and love it too much that they burst into such strong emotions when the ending is not satisfactory.

After experiencing fierce scolding, criticism and smearing, people seemed to have released all the resentment in their hearts and finally felt relieved.

At this point, everyone began to gradually regain their sanity and re-examine "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" from an objective perspective.

Netizen "十三未觉" said: "The characters in the play are vivid and distinctive. Li Xiaoyao's unrestrained and responsible character, Zhao Linger's pure kindness and bravery, Lin Yueru's courage to love and hate, Tang Yu Xiaobao's loyalty and perseverance, Anu's liveliness and cuteness, etc., all left a deep impression on the audience. These characters seem to have walked out of the screen and into my heart, becoming vivid existences one by one."

Netizen "願追月华流照君" said with emotion: "I love Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger so much. They have gone through hardships but always stick to their love for each other. Although this sad ending is hard for the audience to accept, it is also its uniqueness. It makes people cherish the happiness in front of them while lamenting the impermanence of fate."

Netizen "竹轩逸梦" commented: "From the perspective of the plot, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" has ups and downs, full of fantasy and profound life philosophy."

Netizen "无填的饺子" believes: "This drama is indeed full of many touching plots, which make the audience cry while watching. However, it is these tear-jerking moments that make people feel more deeply the emotional entanglements and helplessness of the characters in the drama, and also make the drama more infectious."

Netizen "海森楚客" pointed out: "The costumes, makeup and props in the play are also very exquisite, presenting the audience with a magnificent fairy world. At the same time, the soundtrack also creates a suitable atmosphere for the plot and enhances the emotional resonance of the audience."

Netizen "藝文的奶牛" said: "Shen Lang has brought audiences one wonderful work after another with his unique creative talent. The Chinese Paladin 1 is undoubtedly another masterpiece of his, showing his outstanding ability in TV drama creation."

In general, although the finale of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" caused some controversy, after everyone's calm thinking and objective evaluation, the value and charm of this drama have been more recognized.

It is not only a wonderful fantasy drama, but also a life epic about love, friendship, responsibility and growth.

Since its first broadcast, the drama "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" has received widespread attention.

The ratings continued to rise, never falling below 9.10%, and reached a staggering 12.16% at its highest.

It has become the most watched fantasy TV series since 2000, and is currently sitting firmly on the throne of the most watched TV series of the year, setting numerous records.

And everyone is also looking forward to what kind of amazing ratings the finale can achieve.

The next day, in the director’s office of Magic City TV Station.

The Master once again asked the question: “Can it break 13%?”

The deputy director responded, "The difference of 0.84% ​​may seem like less than 1%, but in fact it requires tens of millions of new viewers. Moreover, there is another reason. As the popularity of television sets increases, there are more and more TV dramas, and the audience split is getting more and more serious. Now, a rating of over 10% is already very impressive. From now on, every 0.1% increase will be extremely difficult. In addition, CCTV's "The Lotus Lantern" is also very popular, and its ratings are almost the same as ours. It is also coming to an end these days."

While they were discussing, there was an excited shout: "The data is out! 15.29%!"

When the director and deputy director heard the ratings, they were stunned for a moment.

This is really unexpected!

How did it suddenly surge by two percentage points?

This is simply outrageous!
After a moment, the director laughed cheerfully and said, "Very good, the high price has its reasons."

The deputy director also smiled and said, "This Shen Lang is really a genius, but... I'm afraid the price of Julang Films' dramas will rise again in the future."

The station director, however, did not take it seriously and said, "His TV series and movies are increasing, and so are our advertisements. We will never lose money."

The deputy director nodded and said, "Yes, I should have tried to participate in the variety show Super Girls earlier. I think the auditions are very popular, and the ratings will probably not be low."

The station director thought for a moment and said, "As for variety shows, let's wait and see."

He is relatively conservative in his work. Talent show variety shows do not have a large audience in China. Just look at CCTV's Youth Song Contest to see that.

At the same time, the ratings data also spread.

The happiest people were the main creative team of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", as they finally lived up to Shen Lang's trust.

The actors were also very happy. The success of the drama brought a huge breakthrough in their acting careers.

Liu Yifei's influence and popularity have greatly increased due to her role as Zhao Linger, and she has become a popular actress today.

This morning alone, I received 7 acting offers.

She was in such a good mood that she immediately called Shen Lang to express her sincere gratitude.

The remaining actors, such as Hu Xuan who plays Li Xiaoyao, Tang Yan who plays Lin Yueru, Yang Mi who plays Anu, etc., also received widespread attention.

Their wonderful performances in the drama won the love and recognition of the audience. It can be said that they became famous because of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1".

Among them, the one who benefited the most was Shen Lang.

Originally, he was highly praised by everyone for having just won 7 Grammy Awards, and now the TV series he participated in producing has also been a great success, and his attention has increased unprecedentedly.

In addition, the songs in this drama are all in the new album that was released not long ago, which also led to a surge in album sales.

"You don't seem happy." asked Stefanie Sun.

"Are you happy after being scolded?" Shen Lang joked.

"That's a minority, and the ending you set is so tragic that I couldn't help crying after reading it." Stefanie Sun said. (End of this chapter)
